I am a zombie this morning, but the lame variety of zombie that's too tired to actively seek out brains. Instead, I just loll here in my chair with my mouth half open, hoping a brain will be good enough to fall in.
So far, it hasn't happened.
Last night, I modeled at The Renn. I wore two Jezebel Devilish Designs outfits: a cute tartan kilt dress (similar to this one, but sleeveless), and a black and red velvet corset and skirt. The show was good because no skeezy guy with a mullet tried to cop a feel. The show was good because I got to hang out backstage with a bunch of mostly nekkid hot chicks. The show was bad because said room was so cold that the hot chicks' nipples were carving lines into the concrete walls every time we had to pass one another. It was fucking c-c-c-c-COLD!
At one point, after I'd done both turns on the catwalk, there were problems with another model getting into her outfit, so I was sent out again to stall. I'm sure people were wondering why I came out again in the same outfit, but whatever... It bought the model and the dressers enough time.
By the way, Jezebel is a sweetie, and her clothes are well-made. Check out her stuff. Or if you're in Hamilton, you can see her merchandise at Crash Landing at 297 Ottawa Street North.
And now for some links....
Children's foreheads slashed in Muslim saint's name: Ritual child abuse builds character.
We Are the Web: It's an internet reminiscence fest, featuring such standbys as Peter Pan, Tron Guy, Viking Kittens and Spongmonkeys, Leslie Hall (of ugly sweater fame), Subservient Chicken, Back Dormitory Boys, and that goddamned Dancing Baby.
Gelli Baff: This just looks disgusting to me.
Cheap, safe drug kills most cancers: Sounds great, right? The bad news is it likely won't be produced because there is no patent, and therefore no profit to be made by the pharmaceutical companies.
And just in my inbox comes this little snippet which makes me very disappointed I don't live in Toronto:
Torontonians? Let me live vicariously through you as you take this class....

I'd love to help you Shan

I can sigh vicariously for you, if that would help at all...
